INTRODUCTION:Here at Sikhnet Central we've been hard at work over the last
three weeks compiling, editing and publishing the incredible photo journal of our recent
Yatra to the 1999 Tercentenial Bhaisakhi celebrations at Anandpur Sahib. Among the
millions of people who came from all over India and the rest of the world, called by their
longing and love for the Panth Khalsa , we were a small band of about 400 Western born
Khalsa who made this sacred journey from all over Europe, Asia, the UK, Mexico, South
America, Africa and the United States. Our group included the students of the Miri Piri Academy in Amritsar
who, in fact, led the Yatrees during our many forays through the streets of Anandpur Sahib
and the surrounding area. As we walked together on the sacred hills of Anandpur Sahib we
touched the spirit and soul of those who were there 300 years ago and we felt the powerful
presence of Guru Gobind Singh every moment of every day. We celebrated the rebirth of our
spirit as our children proudly carried the banner of Khalsa and we chanted together in
celebration, joy and gratitude for the entire Panth . This historical event had a powerful
global impact, inspiring people all around the world with the values and love of Khalsa.
Whether you were there with us in body or in spirit, come join us now in the
virtual world of Sikhnet and relive that joyous week through the Anandpur Sahib Yatra
Photo Journal. - Guruka Singh Khalsa,
Espanola, May 14th, 1999

"As we
walk on this sacred land of Anandpur Sahib we touch the spirit and soul of those who were
there 300 years ago. They were called by Guru Gobind Singh just as you now are called by
the longing and love you have for the Panth Khalsa. This yatra is in celebration of the
rebirth of our spirit so that our children will continue to carry this banner of Khalsa to
all four corners of this world. This event could have the global impact to educate all
people around the world on the values and love of Khalsa." Siri Singh Sahib Harbhajan Singh Yogi, Espanola, January
1999
